Council gets water park progress report

Chilli Bay, Chillicothe's new water park, is taking shape as much work was completed during January.

2 Point Construction Company, the contractor on the project, provided an update for Chillicothe City Council members during their workshop meeting Monday evening at City Hall. The workshop preceded the council's regular meeting.

Plumbing is completed for the 220-foot lazy river, which included installation of an 18-inch pipe. The contractor plans to pour slabs for the lazy river during the next few weeks, weather permitting.

Work on the main pool area is about complete, council members were told, with some of the pool benches having been installed. The contractor anticipated completing the benches this week.

It was noted on Monday that the ADA ramp at the northwest corner of the area also has been completed, as well as the floors poured in the bath house.

The contractor stated that extreme cold weather caused some plumbing delays, but overall, the project is on schedule.
